^^^^^^^
Hello there, I know whis may be known to alot of people as general
information, but what the h/p scene is lacking nowadays is information.
The h/p scene is all about learning and sharing your knowledge. I write about
what I know about, no matter how insignifigant. Becasue the more that is made
availible to the scene, the more people will learn, and maybe be able to use
some day. Because learning is the whole point of hacking. Right? This is
probably on of the most widely argued topics within the scene, but that is my
view. Enough with the chit-chat crap, and onto the file. Oh yea, and please
excuse the lame ascii attempt at the top, it's 2 am, played with the VMS8
enuff for tonight, and am bored as hell. Looked cool at the time, I have been
awake for about 36 hours, strung out on NoDoz, Jolt, Krank20, Soda, and Kona,
soo, heh, okay.
Welp, In this issue I hope to cover most of the options, menu's,
and what to do's, with BANM's phone services offered such as *VM Voice Mail,
TalkDial, and a few cool things that can be found in brochures that are found
at almost any BANM location, such as "programming instructions" and BANM
service numbers. (I enjoy hanging out at my local BANM store, and making free
calls from the display phones there...) oh yea, at almost any BANM store,
they have "Display" phones out on the floor. 90% Of these phones are on and
usable, just either ask a dumb sales clerk if you can make a call on it to
try it out, and/or make the call descretly to defcon (801-855-3326), and tell
them where ya are. ;) If you happen to get kicked out of the store, go down
the street to the next cell phone place, and do the same thing. This makes
for hours of fun.

Brochure information, some stupid and some not
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Welp, while at the store the other day making my usual daily calls to
friends, family, and other memb's of DMS, I was looking through a brochure,
and saw a few things that were interesting. First, on one of the inside covers
I saw a diagram explaining how to program a new number into a phone, including
ESN programming and such, this is a crude form of what it looks like.
PHONE PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
___________________________________________________________
| | |
| ENTER | PHONE DISPLAYS |
|_________________________________________|_________________|
| | |
| Step 1 While holding down the [FNC] | PHONE# |
| button turn on the phone by | |
| pressing the [PWR] button | |
|_________________________________________|_________________|
| | |
| Step 2 Enter your new cellular phone | |
| number (including area code) | SIDH# |
| Press [SEND] | |
|_________________________________________|_________________|
| | |
| Step 3 Enter 5 digit SID | ESN |
| Press [SEND] | |
| | |
| Press [END] to exit programming| |
|_________________________________________|_________________|
( this is assuming your phone is a Motorola Cell Clone, errr... Phone :)
* the caps letters in between the []'s are buttons.
* what the PHONE DISPLAYs column is for is what the phone is expecting to
be entered by the programmer into the phone.
* a SID is a Carrier .S.ystem .ID.
* These programming instructions are to be followed with a new fone, to
enter the new phone number into the phone, after dialing
1-800-523-7961 ( Bell Atlantic Nynex Mobile Activation Center )
I have not really played with this much, but you may be able to social e
some ESN's and such out of the operators, because we all know that 99.9%
of the operators in this world are dumbas bricks, who follow a given set
of instructions to follow, and what to say, etc.. refer to the older DMS
file I wrote on social engineering techniques.
Some customer service numbers for BANM that I found throughout a few pamphlets
were:
For Eastern Massachusetts
Rhode Island
Rockingham County, NH.....................................1-800-538-4747
For Conneticuit
Western Massachusetts.....................................1-800-852-3630
*some options from the main menu on this C-S line are as follows:
the only interestiong one i thought was "Press one for PIN code
information......"

*VM Voice Mail, what it is, and how to use it from your phone
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
*VM voice mail, from BANM, is just another voice mail service offered
by the "profiteering gluttons". It is BANM's "easy to use" voice mail
service. I looked through it, and uless you have a photographic memory, this
guide will come in handy when playing with this service.
Setting up your voice mail for the first time:
----------------------------------------------
1. Press [CLR]
2. Press [*] [V] [M] (*86) [SEND]
(or dial your cellular number from a touch tone phone)
3. When the recorded announcement begins, interrupt the message by pressing
[#]
4. Enter your tempory password of 1 + the last four digits of your cell fone
number.
(*!* Great security feature eh!? welp, most people, like on systems, tend
to stick with their defualt password, so you can break into / take
over a good amount of *VM mailboxes this way. Defaults anywhere are a
good thing to know first off.)
5. Create your personal 4 to 15 digit password.
(*!* In most cases, if they do change it, it will be something like a home
phone number, the cell phone number, birthdate... etc, GO TRASHING@#$)
6. Record your personal greeting.
Message waiting indicator:
--------------------------
This will notify you of new messages in your mailbox
To turn notification on/off:
1.) Enter the main menu
2.) Press [4] (personal options)
3.) Press [1] (outcall notification)
4.) Press [3] for ON or [4] for OFF
Retrieving Messages:
--------------------
1.) Dial your cellular number, or press [*] [V] [M] [SEND]
(messages can also be retrieved by dialing your cellular number from a
phone / office phone)

3.) Enter your password.
4.) To retrieve messages press [1]
5.) To save a message, press [9]

2.) Press [SEND]
3.) After the promt, dila your 10 digit cellular number
4.) then follow the retriving messages section above

dos or a *nix system.

What it is, and how to use Locked Mobile
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Locked mobile is a service that comes on most phones now, that you
have to enter your personal PIN number to use the phone. This is a breif
guide on how to use the Locked Mobile system on your clone... errr.. phone =]
Also, note that Locked Mobile doesn't restrict incoming calls or emergency
calls to *911. This is a really dumb form of security on phones. Seeing as how
people can call you, you can still ride up the minutes on a phone anyways.
You will just have to have everyone call you on your phone if it is closed,
unless you can figure out the PIN number to the phone. Which is still better
than actually paying for services.
To lock your cellular service:
- press [*] [5] [6] + PIN # + [SEND]
- after the confirmation tone, press [END]
To unlock your cellular service:
- press [*] [5] [6] [0] + PIN + [SEND]
- after the confirmation tone, press [END]
To change your PIN code:
- dial 1-800-852-3630* + [SEND]
*this is a good number to have, seeing if you cannot find
the PIN code, you can social e the PIN number out of the
operator, you just have to know a little information
about the phone you cloned
- Follow the voice prompts
Once you have unlocked your cellular service, it will remain unlocked
until you:
- manually lock your service by dilaing [*] [5] [6] + PIN +
[SEND]
- turn off your phone for a min. of 23 minutes in your home
market (cell site)
- begin roaming or travel to a new roaming market.
